Exposure at the library is going to swap over to what is talked about and bought. I imagine it works both ways. What people buy is in demand, and the library will buy it too. Other way around, if you look in library, see a book you like, and then see a mile long wait list, you can either wait, or buy it instead. It must be a good book if so many others are willing to wait for it. Remove all naughty publishers from library, replace with alternatives, eventually the whole community will adopt (both patrons and buyers).
